John Legend and Chrissy Teigen’s relationship is a modern love story that has captivated fans worldwide. Their journey, which eventually blossomed into the beautiful John Legend Family we admire today, started in a rather unconventional setting: a music video shoot. It was the 2007 video for Legend’s song “Stereo” that brought these two together, a moment that Chrissy Teigen herself recounts as the beginning of their inseparable bond, as reported by Time magazine.
After spending a 12-hour day filming the music video, where Teigen played Legend’s love interest, their connection extended beyond the set. Teigen shared with Time that after the shoot, they grabbed In-N-Out burgers and continued their evening at Legend’s hotel. That night marked the start of their romance, with Teigen humorously noting they “didn’t ever say goodbye.”
However, like any real relationship, their path wasn’t without its minor bumps. Teigen revealed to Cosmopolitan magazine a brief moment of uncertainty early in their dating life. While on tour, Legend, feeling unwell and stressed, briefly expressed doubts about being in a relationship. This momentary hesitation lasted only a day. Teigen often jokes about this incident, recalling, “Remember when you tried to break up with me?” to which Legend responds with an apologetic, “Yes, sorry, big mistake.”
Their relationship quickly solidified, becoming the strong partnership celebrated in Legend’s iconic song “All Of Me.” This heartfelt ballad was penned for Teigen, and she also starred in its accompanying music video. Filmed in the picturesque Lake Como, Italy, leading up to their wedding, the video culminates with actual footage from their wedding ceremony. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen officially became husband and wife on September 14, 2013, solidifying the foundation for the John Legend family that continues to grow and inspire.
